The Ming Garden behind Xuanming Temple is called Lijiadu Ming Garden, which is about 300 meters away from Xuanming Temple in a straight line. otbnkotgt Regarding the Lijiadu Underworld Garden, we have two legends here.
The first one said that Lijiadu Hell Garden was originally a mass grave.
After the Hell Garden was completed, there were still many lonely ghosts wandering outside the Hell Garden.
People often pass by the gate of Mingming Garden at night, and many whispers can be heard, but no one can be seen.
The second one was circulated when Fatty and I were in elementary school, because our elementary school was not very far from this underworld.
I heard that there were teachers staying on duty at night.
When entering the toilet at night, you would suddenly see someone's face flashing outside the toilet.
More than once, several teachers were so frightened that they would rather take the bus three times than live on campus.
However, most folklore cannot be taken seriously.
Isn't there a joke later?
Every school was built on a cemetery, and in every women's toilet, I heard that someone had been hanged.
Fatty and I arrived the next afternoon, mainly to check out the spots.
The gatekeeper was an old man who looked as lean as a monkey.
When he saw me and the fat man, he asked in a high voice: "What are you two doing?"
The fat man was more excited and said with a smile: "I'll accompany my buddy to pay homage to the old man.
You have a smoke."
Chinese concierges and security guards can generally use cigarettes to get things done.
I raised my feet and entered the gate of the Ming Garden.
The entire Ming Garden was relatively large and divided into three areas.
The cedar area was on the left, the winter plum area was on the right, and the green bamboo area was in the middle.
According to the records of mountain ghost stories, there was an earth beast called "Fangwei" during the Republic of China, which usually moved around the mass graves.
The physical characteristics of this earth animal are very similar to those of a bamboo rat, with a round head, very small eyes, and a pair of front teeth exposed.
However, the difference from the bamboo rat is that the tail of the "square tail" is square, just like its name.
"Square tail, with a body two feet long, black and gray, small and long eyes, and a square tail, hence the name.
It often lives in places with many corpses and ghosts, feeds on yin energy, and likes to live among corpses.
It is timid in nature.
It will also attack when in danger, and the short bones of its tail can be used to make magic weapons."
The book generally introduces it like this.
Zhuzi and I talked on the phone at night.
The price offered there was not low, but the details depended on the sales.
I walked around the Cedar area and found nothing unusual.
There were almost no grave sweepers.
I saw one when I came in and then left.
I am the only one left in the huge garden.
I turned around and walked to Cuizhu District.
During this wandering, I made some discoveries.
There are some places in the Garden of Hades that have not yet been erected with tombstones.
They are empty and only covered with a layer of boards.
Such places were usually cemeteries for sale.
Cremation was still relatively common in Shanghai at that time, but the trend of buying cemeteries had not yet formed, so most of them were on the shelf.
What I saw was an empty cemetery, but there was a gap in the stone slab covering it.
In fact, this gap is not noticeable at all.
If I didn't pay attention, I would have missed it.
However, several plants next to this stone slab were dead.
What struck me most was that the weeds surrounding the cemetery were also dead.

This is an unusual phenomenon.
There are so many weeds with strong vitality and there is no shortage of rain in Shanghai.
It’s just the beginning of spring.
Why is there no grass growing here?
I felt something strange, so I slowly leaned over, bent down and took a look, and immediately discovered that there was a hole inside.
The hole was covered with a stone slab, so it was inconspicuous.
Seeing that there was no one around, I boldly moved the stone slab out a little, so that I could clearly observe the hole in front of me.
It looked very deep.
I didn't have any measuring tools, but I guessed it must be at least one meter.
The entrance of the cave is a bit bigger than my fist, and the walls of the cave look smooth and look like they were dug out.
I squatted down and pinched the soil next to me.
It felt a little moist.
I put it under my nose and smelled it.
There was a faint smell in the soil.
Rats in the wild can also dig holes, and the soil at the entrance of the hole will smell of rat feces.
These are not field skills, but they are learned naturally when playing with classmates when I was a child.
This hole should have been dug by something similar to a mouse, but judging from the entrance of the hole, it is unlikely to be a mouse.
I have never seen a big mouse wider than my fist in Shanghai.
That might have been dug out by "Fangwei", but other possibilities are not ruled out.
"Fangwei" has a tendency to attack.
Although he is usually timid, he may attack me if I am cornered.
This earth beast feeds on yin energy, and it should also eat some insects, mice and other creatures.
I don't know if there are poisons on its teeth or if there are bacteria in its body.
If you act rashly now, you may lose more than you gain.
Thinking of this, I pondered for a moment and moved the stone slab back.
If some of the habits of "Square Tail" are similar to those of mice, then this hole will definitely not be the only exit.
The so-called cunning rabbit has three burrows, and mice also have this habit.
I carved a small mark next to the stone slab and started wandering around.
However, what surprised me was that even though I observed carefully for a long time, I still didn't find any other cave entrances here.
"That's weird, is it just a hole?"
I frowned in confusion.
At this time, the fat man came over from a distance, and the gatekeeper looked at me from behind, looking a little wary.
"Okay, that uncle is a little suspicious now.
I think he regards us as thieves stealing tributes."
The fat man whispered.
"If you find anything, let's talk about it when we get back."
Full of doubts, Fatty and I left the Lijiadu Underworld Garden.
We had dinner at a small restaurant nearby.
The fat man opened two bottles of beer, took a sip and said, "You said there might be traces of Fang Wei, but I'm not sure."
"Well, think about it, if it was really a smart and timid beast like Fang Wei, would he only dig a hole?
If so, then I would get some cigarettes and smoke it inside, and block the entrance of the hole, and that would be it.
There would be no mice left.
It’s so stupid, let alone an earth beast, so I’m not sure.”
After expressing his concerns, the fat man wiped his lips and laughed loudly: "Damn it, can't we just verify it at night?
If the thing you mentioned is the same as a mouse, it is nocturnal.

Maybe it's nocturnal.
We just happened to catch him.
After we finish eating, we go back to each house to prepare something.
I don’t dare to enter the Underworld with nothing."
I made an appointment with Fatty, and I went home and prepared the amulet given by Daba and the bell given by Master Han.
I also brought the old flashlight and thick gloves at home.
At about nine o'clock in the night, Fatty and I were opposite Lijiadu Garden of Hell.
We met on the side of the road.
"I brought a rope and half a ladder, as well as a dagger and a shovel.
Hehe, in case of a fight, I can use this to defend myself."
The fat man handed over the dagger.
His grandfather was an old Red Army soldier.
He used to have a gun at home.
He handed it over a few years ago, but he still kept the dagger.
Those are all things that have been sharpened and even touched people's lives.
"Give me the dagger and you get the shovel."
I was stunned after taking it and asked.
"Hey, you are doing me a favor and you are in danger.
If you are injured, I will explain it to your father.
Stop talking nonsense.
I have found out clearly during the day that the Garden of Hell is closed now, old man I basically fell asleep around 8:30.
Let’s climb in through the wall at the back, don’t make too much noise, and don’t let anyone shoot, hehe.”
The fat man made a final witty remark, and we walked across the street one after the other.
After climbing over the wall on the ladder, I took a look inside the Underworld Garden, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly in my heart.
I never dared to think about entering the Garden of Death in the middle of the night.
When I was young, I was bold and said I was not afraid of anything, but when you really stand in this gloomy cemetery, the light is all around you.
It's not good either.
If the only quiet thing is the "whirring" of the wind, it would be pure nonsense to insist that you are not afraid.
"It's really scary.
What should we do?
Split up and act separately?"
The fat man carried the rope on his back and pulled the ladder in from outside the wall.
"Go and look at the hole first."
I took Fatty and groped by the light of the flashlight to the stone slabs marked during the day.
When I lowered my head and looked down, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The slate was removed In such a hidden place, no one comes to visit the tomb during the day, and the gatekeeper is even more incapable of pushing away the stone slab.
Who else could move such a heavy stone slab must be "Fang Wei" hiding inside.
"What's wrong?"
The fat man asked me from behind.
"The stone slab has been moved away, and I think the contents inside have escaped."
I lowered my voice and answered in the cold wind.
